Major companies like Coca-Cola, Chang, TOA and Amazing Thailand: Stop all sponsorship of Green Turtle and Shark torture in Songkhla Aquarium

Major companies like Coca-Cola, Chang, TOA and Amazing Thailand
Please help us stop all sponsorship to Songkhla Aquarium until this issue is resolved. As long as Songkhla Aquarium gets sponsorship money – they will not stop torturing endangered animals for sake of entertainment and they will continue breaking international law.
Both Green Turtle and Sharks are in decline, with some species facing extinction. Green Turtles are a protected species under CITES Appendix I (the highest protection) – it is against international law to endanger, damage and harass these gentle creature.
Aquariums are supposed to educate people, not show people that it is ok to dress up turtles, play with sharks and move around stingrays. All these animals can inflict serious injury and in some instances, death if provoked. The educational message should be about conservation and awareness not a circus act.
Unfortunately, Songkhla Aquarium is happy to exploit any animals including protected species to make a bit of money. And companies such as Coca-Cola, Chang, TOA and Amazing Thailand are shameless enough to put their logo on a “turtle shirt” that is used during the shows.
